Rules



If you are interested in playing with me just add your name to the sign up sheet.  The sign-up sheet and will become the Table of Contents for the book.   I will mail the book to the first person on the list to begin the journey.

The subject of this book collaboration is, gifts of my friends.  It is about the gift of our friendship, the memories we share, moments still to come, wisdom exchanged.  When you are finished with your entry, please scan or photograph your work and email it to me for upload. 

After I receive your images, I will give you the address of the next person on the list so you can ship directly to the next friend.  *This is a personal collaboration of friends only, and not open to the public.

Once the book is complete and all the images have been uploaded, I will give you instructions on how to download the entire content into a book publishing platform so that you can have your own copy printed.  I will include high res images of the front and back covers, interior of covers, cover page, table of contents, spine etc. for an exact replica.
